Aaron Samuels, my friend and the co-founder of Blavity, Blavity.org, Afrotech, and Collide Capital tells me about building on purpose to cater to underrepresented populations as well as leading through crisis. As mixed kids, we connect on the experience of identifying with multiple identities. Specifically, Aaron shares how growing up as a Black, Jewish, artistic, and analytical kid shaped the man he is today!
